At many venues on the tour the rest of the cast also performed a late night version of Bouncers. It was co-written by John Godber and Jane Thornton, the same team that have updated the script for 2022.Ĭo-writer Jane Thornton says: “On the very first tour of Up n Under that went into the Donmar Warehouse, I played Hazel. The original Shakers was first presented by the Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1984.

The high street might be struggling to get back to normal but the Shakers bar is under new management and they are determined to make it the place to be seen. Shakers: Under New Management puts women’s lives front and centre, as everyone returns to going out out. One of the most performed writers in the English Language, John Godber, returns to Oldham this month with an updated version of Shakers, sister play to Bouncers.
